A Providence institution, the French-American School of Rhode Island, founded by Head of School Dominique Thompson, has been in existence for nearly 15 years. It first opened its doors in September of 1994 in the Holy Name Building on the East Side with half a dozen students aged between 3 and 6.

FASRI purchased its present facility from its neighbor St Joseph's Church in November of 2005. Today, with an enrollment of over 175 students from pre-school to 8th grade, FASRI is still growing! FASRI offers the opportunity of a unique bilingual education and of a multi-cultural community. The outstanding quality of its bilingual program is recognized by all visiting experts in education. The remarkable expansion of the school and its community spirit reflect the faith, dedication, consistency and vision of its leadership.
